Soft Leaf Yucca


Plant Sizing Guide

Soft Leaf Yucca, scientifically known as Yucca recurvifolia, is a striking perennial succulent native to the southeastern United States. It is well-regarded for its elegant and arching, sword-shaped leaves that are green and flexible, giving it the common name "Soft Leaf." The leaves have a gentle curve, providing a graceful and attractive display. Soft Leaf Yucca is relatively large in size, forming a rosette that can reach several feet in height and width. In late spring to early summer, it produces tall flower spikes adorned with pendulous, cream-colored bell-shaped flowers. Drought-tolerant and adapted to a variety of soil types, this yucca species is often utilized in xeriscape gardens, landscapes, and as an accent or focal point in garden designs. Its hardiness and unique visual appeal make Soft Leaf Yucca a popular choice for arid and subtropical environments.
